The Sale of the b. and o. Railroad.

The sale of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road does not appear TO be fully consummat-
ed, although there is every reason 10 believe
that the control of this great corporation
will soon pass out of the hands of Mr.. Robert
Garrett The liveliest interest continues to
be manifested all over the State of Maryland
and particularly in Baltimore city, over the
outcome Of this great railroad deal The in
tcrcsts of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have been so closely interviewer
with those of the State which gave it birth
and nurtured it with fostering care, that
Marylanders naturally wish to know wheh
er the business welfare of Baltimore has been
sufficiently protected in the transfer of the
property in which the city and State have so
large pecuniary interest.
In his letter to the Hibernian Society, on
st. Patricks Day, Mayor Hodges took a
hopeful look at the situation. He says that
in view of the fact that the merchandise trade
of Baltimore city is chiefly with the South
and that its growth must be in that direction,
and that The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has given the city little or no
freighting or passenger facilities beyond the
Potomac, any combination which the Balti-
more-and Ohio might fairly make with GER
tain important lines of transit in that direc-
ton would vastly augment the geographical
position of Baltimore city, and in few years
make the city great distributing market

OUT IN A BLIZZARD,

The Rirer Press. of Fort Benton, Montana, gives
an account of trying experience which lately
happened to Mr.. John +. Patterson, formerly of
Hartford county, who owns a large sheep ranch
in Montana. While terrible blizzard was raging
one of his herders came to the house and inform
ed him that the sheep had stampeded and that
they and the herder were lost. Mr.. Patterson
said they would make every effort to save the
herder II every sheep was lost. The two started
out on horseback and soon caught up with the
Sheep but were unable to stop them. The herd
er was with them and the three men stayed with
them until they arrived at a ranch Is miles dis
tant, where they were halted and turned back.
They were out three days and nights of the cold
est weather ever known in that section of Mon
tana.
Their continued absence alarmed the neghbors
and a search party was organized, but Mr.. Pat
terson the herders and sheep turned up before
the party started, having lost but ten sheep. We
are not often called upon, says the Press, to re-
cord such wonderful pluck and endurance as
were shown by Mr.. Patterson and his men.
Mr.. Patterson is a son of Mr.. Orville Patterson,
formerly of Hartford Furnace, Hartford county,
who died last fall, in Montana. All of his family
are living there.

outrage to remove 1t. There are eight canning
factories in the neighborhood which have for

Their canned goods have become known all over

Failure of Lord IL Polk,

The well-known fertilizer firm of Lord &
Polk, of Odessa, Del, has failed for the sum
of $4,000. Among the creditors of the firm
is the First National Bank of Havre de Grace,
to whom they owe $G,40O. The firm suffer
ed heavily at the hands of w. b. Lawton, of
New York, member of the company, buy
ing and selling for it in that city, who alb
seconded with at least 100000 of the firms
money. The firm has been successful in es-
tablishing large business, having sold 10000
tons of their phosphate last year. Eight
years ago the senior member of the firm,
Victor Lord, started the business with
shovel and bucket as capital. Several New
York firms, it appears, have also been seri-
ously involved through Lawton's rascality.
Much sympathy is felt for the firm in their
misfortune.

The Kent Ne,cs, in commenting upon the
recent organization at Elkton of trotting
circuit for agricultural fairs, in which the
Kent society was left out, says of horse rae
ing at cattle shows
"The prominence given to this feature and
its bearing upon the success of the annual
exhibitions has over-shadowed other inter
ests. The tendency has been too much in
this direction. orse-racing-trotting or
runhing-is an exciting sport, and will bring
the crowd. But is ii the crowd that always
gives the agricultural fair real success
Even should it swell the gate receipts to a
profit above expenses, may 1t not have been
vicious in an overwhelming degree above the
advantages? Trials OF speed in legitimate
sense, are very different from the modern
agricultural fair horse racing The latter is
the corruption of the former. 1t brings the
harm out of good"
